Further examples of companies using Web 2.0 

THIS entry is going to discuss further examples of companies using Web 2.0 principles in a significant way from lecture 3′s examples.

Initially, I was a bit worried to find companies which are using Web 2.0, especially for the 『English web-site’ as I’m an international student. I’m not familiar with the Australian companies which are using Web 2.0 and where to find them out. Therefore I think I shall look at some massive multinational, such as IBM, Sun and Cisco.

I’d like to list (as much as I can see) the Web 2 tools that these three companies are currently using on their official web-sites:
